Cappella di San Rocco, Renaissance chapel in Villongo, Italy
The Chapel of San Rocco features an open design with round arches supported by a Sarnico sandstone column and an umbrella vault ceiling structure.
Between 1526 and 1528, Romanino painted frescoes depicting Madonna with Child, angels, and saints within architectural structures common to the Brescia region.
The chapel holds religious significance as it was built near a cemetery where notable individuals were interred beside the parish church of San Filastrio.
The original frescoes were transferred to Casa Bondurri near the parish church baptistery in 1967 for preservation and display purposes.
The interior vault contains six plumes with oculi offering views of painted skies filled with white and orange clouds against marble-like decorations.
